Riding Mountain

Riding Mountain

Talk about high drama. Follow the landscape of the Manitoba Escarpment high above the Prairies as you hike along in Riding Mountain National Park. Listen carefully and you may hear an elk "bugle" for a mate during the fall mating season.

Activities

Hiking

Where can you see a herd of bison up close or maybe a black bear? How about some wolves, or moose and hundreds of species of birds? It's all at Riding Mountain on Manitoba's Escarpment.

There are lakes for boating and swimming, gorgeous gorges with spectacular views. There's even Grey Owl's Cabin, once home to one of the first conservationists in our country. You can hike over 150 million years of geological history while looking for rare wildlife around every corner.
